This episode comes directly from the Wednesday update that members inside the DTA community receive. In this update we discuss: Inflation just got more aggressive, and today's PPI report proves it. We break down the February 2026 Producer Price Index data, why a 48.9% spike in vegetable prices is more than a blip, and what Jerome Powell's careful word choice is really telling us about the state of the economy.In this episode:​Why PPI came in at 0.7% — more than double expectations — and what's driving it.​The "perfect storm" of weather, tariffs, and labor shortages is hitting food prices.​Powell's "pincer move" explanation and why he's refusing to use the word stagflation.​The 10-year Treasury yield is hitting 4.25% and why. ​Earnings breakdown: Micron's massive AI-driven beats the forecast. ​SPY and QQQ key levels — why the market is bearish but still highly tradeable.​The two catalysts that could flip the inflation narrative.

This week had some sad news as we learned that Len Deighton passed away at the age of 97. He’s a huge part of how we think of modern espionage fiction and many of his works will stand the test of time. This seemed like a good moment to remember a singular moment in spy […]

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers five major updates on the war with Iran, including rising U.S. casualties, the targeted killings of top Iranian regime leaders, and growing signs that internal pressure inside Iran may be building. He also reports on Mossad and CIA psychological operations targeting IRGC members directly, the strategic importance of key islands like Kharg and Kesh-Em in the Strait of Hormuz, and what a potential U.S. Marine operation to seize them could mean for the war. Finally, Bryan breaks down a major political shock in Washington after President Trump's counter-terrorism chief resigns, accusing the administration of being influenced by Israel, and explains why that allegation and the broader media reaction could have serious implications for U.S. politics and public trust.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran war update, US casualties Iran conflict, Mossad CIA psychological operations IRGC, Kharg Island Kesh-Em Island Strait of Hormuz strategy, US Marines island seizure Iran war, Iranian leadership assassinations Larijani Soleimani, Joe Kent resignation Trump Israel allegations, Tucker Carlson controversy analysis, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

It's Women's History Month!  We first talk about a few women in history who dared to stand out because representation matters. These are women in science, medicine, and even espionage who did amazing things to further scientific advances, to help heal people, etc and they deserve to be recognized. For the media segment, we talk about the 1993 movie Orlando, starring the amazing Tilda Swinton. Following that, we close out with happy news about Dolly Parton and children's books.    Show Notes:    Books to read:  Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers in World War II, by Liza Mundy  Wonder Women: 25 Innovators, inventors, and trailblazers who changed history, by Sam Maggs  Nurse and Spy in the Union Army: S.

Chris speaks with intelligence historian and journalist Trevor Barnes about the Bulgarian spy ring trial at the Old Bailey, one of the most significant espionage cases in the UK since the Cold War. Barnes attended the proceedings and walks Chris through how a network of Bulgarian nationals, allegedly directed remotely by fugitive Wirecard executive Jan Marsalek from Moscow, was tasked with surveilling journalists and dissidents across Europe — including Bellingcat investigator Christo Grozev — in operations that prosecutors suggested could have enabled kidnapping or assassination. The case cracked open after a US intelligence tip-off, was jointly handled by MI5 and the Met's Counter Terrorism Command, and ultimately turned on roughly 200,000 encrypted Telegram messages. Barnes unpacks what the trial revealed about Russia's growing reliance on proxy networks and criminal cut-outs in place of traditional deep-cover officers, and what it signals for Western counter-intelligence in an era of mounting state-sponsored threats.Subscribe and share to stay ahead in the world of intelligence, global issues, and current affairs.Read Trevor's article about the trial: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/trevorwbarnes_britain-russia-bulgarian-activity-7440003523754459136-PscmConnect with Trevor on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevorwbarnes/Support Secrets and SpiesBecome a “Friend of the Podcast” on Patreon for £3/$4: https://www.patreon.com/SecretsAndSpiesBuy merchandise from our shop: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/60934996Buy us a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/secretsandspiesSubscribe to our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDVB23lrHr3KFeXq4VU36dgFor more information about the podcast, check out our website: https://secretsandspiespodcast.comConnect with us on social media Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/secretsandspies.bsky.socialInstagram: https://instagram.com/secretsandspiesFacebook: https://facebook.com/secretsandspiesSpoutible: https://spoutible.com/SecretsAndSpiesFollow Chris and Matt on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/chriscarrfilm.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/mattfulton.netSecrets and Spies is produced by Films & Podcasts LTD: https://filmsandpodcasts.co.uk/Music by Andrew R.

Over the weekend we got some pretty interesting tech news that validates everything we were assuming about the Pokemon Go craze from ten years ago; there was plenty to be said about the herd-like social behavior, but for which purpose was the augmented reality tech really being developed? The uninteresting Oscars were last night, and whereas I didn't watch a moment, I did take a look at the insane stuff that was included in the celebrity gift bags from this year. We'll make time for calls and questions from the audience, as another big week begins.

In the 1960s, the CIA lost a plutonium-fueled generator on top of a mountain in India. The generator was supposed to power an unmanned listening station, intended to pick up signals from China's missile tests. But when mountaineers ascended the near 26,000-ft Nanda Devi – under the guise of studying the environment – weather got in their way. They left the nuclear device behind and months later, when they returned, it was gone. New York Times reporter Jeffrey Gettleman reconstructed this event with a team of journalists. The story took about seven years, thousands of miles, and earning the trust of many men who had grown old and have since passed away.

Interview with Jeremy Snyder from FireTail about AI Governance Death by a thousand cuts: the AI shadow IT problem I think the best description of the AI governance problem during this interview was the title of the award-winning movie, Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.

Have you ever wondered if you are good enough, have enough faith, or know enough about the Bible to be acceptable to God? I'm sure we all have at some point. The good news is that the writer of the book of Hebrews actually includes a prostitute in the Hall of Faith. In fact, one scholar argues that she is the most significant figure of faith in all of Hebrews 11.  This week, as we continue in our series “The Crimson Thread,” Pastor Jeff Moes takes a look at Rahab, the prostitute in Joshua 2. Rahab was the one who hid the spies and protected them when the king's men came looking for them. As a reward, Rahab and her family were told that they would be protected from the destruction of Jericho if they placed a “Crimson/Scarlett Cord” outside the window of their home.  This week, we want to look at Rahab's faith: the simplicity of it, the sufficiency of it, and the legacy it produced for her entire family. Because if Rahab the prostitute can be made acceptable to God by grabbing hold and hiding behind a scarlet cord symbolizing the shed blood of Jesus, then so can you and me. --WebsiteFacebookInstagramSunday SetlistSunnybrook App (ios)Sunnybrook App (Google)Connect with us!How can we pray for you?

In this episode, I speak with author Dave Hutchinson about his science fiction writing, how that’s overlapped with espionage and his favorite le Carré novel. We talk about his book series set in a near future Europe that has splintered into tiny nation states, his latest novel The Essence which returns to the spy world […]

Oil’s Big move – one for the record books. Markets in a slight panic – not too worse for ware. Inflation numbers are out – but does anyone care? And our special guest is Thomas Peterffy – Chairman and Founder of Interactive Brokers. NEW! DOWNLOAD THIS EPISODE'S AI GENERATED SHOW NOTES (Guest Segment) Thomas Peterffy is the Chairman and Founder of Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. a global electronic brokerage firm. He has been at the forefront of applying computer technology to automate trading and brokerage processes since soon after he emigrated from Hungary to the United States in 1965.

By the late 80s, Peterffy developed a fully integrated, automated market-making system for stocks, options, and futures, that grew into a digital network encompassing most of the world's exchanges. Starting in 1993, brokerage interfaces and customers were added to this network that continues to expand in products and customers all over the world.

This week, we are joined by Or Eshed, Co-Founder and CEO from LayerX Security, discussing their work on "How We Discovered A Campaign of 16 Malicious Extensions Built to Steal ChatGPT Accounts." Researchers uncovered a coordinated campaign of 16 malicious browser extensions posing as ChatGPT productivity tools while secretly stealing user accounts. The extensions intercept ChatGPT session authentication tokens and send them to attacker-controlled servers, allowing threat actors to impersonate users and access their conversations, files, and connected services like Google Drive or Slack. The findings highlight how AI-focused browser extensions are creating a new attack surface, emphasizing the need for organizations to closely monitor and restrict third-party AI tools.

In Part 2, Matt and Chris return to Blindboy, now broadcasting from a solar-powered podcast and therefore morally unimpeachable. The darkness, however, remains. Having established in Part 1 that the global elite are a vampiric class of depraved blackmailers who traffic children and delight in cruelty, in Part 2, Blindboy offers us some welcome relief in the form of answering the question of what it looks like to be one of the good ones. You may be surprised to learn that it involves a missing dressing room, muddy socks, and a loyalty to small-time promoters that some might call heroic.The episode also traces an ambitious historical arc: from street gangs in 1800s Limerick to the New York underworld, Meyer Lansky, Roy Cohn, CIA brothels and LSD interrogation programmes, and eventually to Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. The connecting thread is a continuous tradition of sexual blackmail passed from master to apprentice that has, apparently, been quietly guiding Western (criminal) civilisation for the better part of two centuries. Matt and Chris sift through the historical material, examine the leaps required to keep the chain intact, and consider whether a conspiracy hypothesis that explains quite so much, quite so neatly, might deserve a small dose of skepticism. As you might anticipate, the episode features discussions of many of our old friends, including strategic disclaimers, moral grandstanding, and layered preemptive defences. Finally, get ready to learn who the real villain is, when the mask is finally removed.... spoiler: it's neoliberal capitalism. A revelation that some listeners may have suspected from the very beginning.LinksBlindboy: A Deep Dive into Jeffrey EpsteinThe Rest is Classified: Was Epstein a Russian Spy?Epstein Files Declassified: Mossad, Israel, and Ghislaine MaxwellEpstein Files Declassified: Was he a Spy?The Saville Inquiry Report on Bloody Sunday (2010)BBC Panorama reporting on the British Army's Military Reaction Force (MRF)Popular Mechanics article on Operation Midnight ClimaxUS Senate Church Committee report on MK-Ultra and CIA covert experimentation and the archived reportNY Times: What Donald Trump Learned From Joseph McCarthy's Right-Hand ManA less conspiratorial but more sympathetic perspective on Epstein's influence by Taylor Lorenz and Ryan BroderickAn in-depth critical review of Whitney Webb's book (by an academic who might be a little conspiracy-prone themselves)Webb, W.

Episode 334 features Ed Banos, the son of Les Banos, a World War II spy who saved more than 200 lives during the Holocaust and later became a sports photographer, and Aaron Huentelman, competition meat manager at Mr. Brisket Ed Banos serves as the President and CEO for University Health and was recognized as a Healthcare Hero by the San Antonio Business Journal.  However, it is not his story we are focused on, but rather the story of Ed's father, Les Banos.  The following are excerpted from online obituaries, "Raised in Budapest, Hungary, Les Banos hid countrymen from the Nazis during World War II and infiltrated German SS headquarters as an Allied spy. He helped hide and save the lives of hundreds of Hungarians.  After the war, he immigrated to the United States, attended the University of Pittsburgh and worked as a cameraman for local TV stations and as a  photographer for the Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins.  Les Banos' favorite subject was his friend, Roberto Clemente, who died Dec. 31, 1972, in a plane crash during a relief mission to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.  Les Banos often said he should have been on that plane, but that was the day the Steelers, played Miami in the AFC championship. The game was made possible by the Steelers beating Oakland the previous week on the Immaculate Reception.  Les Banos captured Clemente's 3,000th hit in a frame-by-frame sequence, and many of his photos have been displayed in exhibitions through the years. A current collection can be seen at the Roberto Clemente Museum in Lawrenceville. Aaron Huentelman is the competition meat manager at Mr. Brisket, a premium quality butcher shop.  He has a degree in restaurant management, has worked in numerous kitchens over the years, and has also managed several restaurants.  His passion, however, is meat smoking. He has been a regular in competition barbecue for the last ten years, with numerous top ten finishes, including a Grand Championship at the Dayton BBQ Rodeo in 2017.  He is the owner of an award winning sauce and rub company, Go Big Or Go BBQ.  To learn more about Aaron's sauce company go to https://www.gobigorgobbq.com/ and to learn more about Mr. Brisket go to https://www.misterbrisket.com/ We recommend you go to Rogue Cookers website, https://roguecookers.com/ for award-winning rubs, Chef Ray Sheehan's website, https://www.raysheehan.com/ for award-winning saucess, rubs, and cookbooks, Baseball BBQ, https://baseballbbq.com for special grilling tools and accessories, Magnechef https://magnechef.com/ for excellent and unique barbecue gloves, Cutting Edge Firewood High Quality Kiln Dried Firewood - Cutting Edge Firewood in Atlanta for high quality firewood and cooking wood, Mantis BBQ, https://mantisbbq.com/ to purchase their outstanding sauces with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Kidney Project, and for exceptional sauces, Elda's Kitchen https://eldaskitchen.com/ We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.

David Shedd served as acting director of the Defense Intelligence Agency; Andrew Badger is a former DIA case officer now teaching state-sponsored espionage at Oxford. Together they've written The Great Heist: China's Epic Campaign to Steal America's Secrets. Matt talks with them about how the Ministry of State Security evolved from a backwater service into what they argue is the world's most powerful intelligence agency; how Beijing replaced Cold War recruitment tradecraft with guanxi-based social obligation and what the authors call "crowd-sourced espionage"; how Made in China 2025 functioned as a national collection priority list driving theft across defense, tech, and critical infrastructure; and why Volt and Salt Typhoon represent not an espionage story but pre-positioning for war—with kill switches already embedded in America's power grid and telecommunications backbone.Subscribe and share to stay ahead in the world of intelligence, global issues, and current affairs.Order The Great Heist: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-great-heist-david-r-sheddandrew-badgerConnect with David and Andrew on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-shedd-00a32bb5https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewbadger1Please share this episode using these linksAudio: https://pod.fo/e/3a9846YouTube: https://youtu.be/3jCFWGhI7_wSupport Secrets and SpiesBecome a “Friend of the Podcast” on Patreon for £3/$4: https://www.patreon.com/SecretsAndSpiesBuy merchandise from our shop: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/60934996Buy us a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/secretsandspiesSubscribe to our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDVB23lrHr3KFeXq4VU36dgFor more information about the podcast, check out our website: https://secretsandspiespodcast.comConnect with us on social media Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/secretsandspies.bsky.socialInstagram: https://instagram.com/secretsandspiesFacebook: https://facebook.com/secretsandspiesSpoutible: https://spoutible.com/SecretsAndSpiesFollow Chris and Matt on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/chriscarrfilm.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/mattfulton.netSecrets and Spies is produced by Films & Podcasts LTD: https://filmsandpodcasts.co.uk/Music by Andrew R.

Top Secret! (1984) was chosen by Dave, and it arrived during a golden era for absurdist American comedy. Directed by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team — Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker — the film followed the massive success of Airplane! (1980) as the trio continued refining their signature style of rapid-fire sight gags, visual jokes, and deadpan delivery. Rather than parodying a single film, the production blended elements of Cold War spy thrillers with the glossy style of Elvis-era musical films, creating a deliberately ridiculous mash-up that leaned fully into the trio's love of relentless, layered comedy.The film also marked the first starring role for Val Kilmer, who was cast largely because of his musical ability as well as his comedic timing. Production took place primarily in the United Kingdom, with elaborate sets and carefully staged visual gags that often required precise choreography and multiple takes. The filmmakers invested heavily in practical effects and cleverly staged illusions to achieve some of the movie's more elaborate jokes. While Top Secret! performed modestly at the box office compared to the team's earlier success, it gradually developed a strong cult following, and today it's widely regarded as one of the most densely packed gag comedies of the 1980s.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISFrom the creators of some of the most outrageous comedies ever made… comes a mission so ridiculous, it might actually work.When an all-American rock star suddenly finds himself caught in a world of secret agents, suspicious governments, and impossible missions, the result is chaos on an international scale. With danger around every corner and nonsense at every turn, nothing is quite what it seems.Top Secret! — the spy movie where the jokes come faster than the bullets.FUN FACTSTop Secret! was Val Kilmer's film debut, launching the career of the future star of Top Gun and The Doors.Kilmer performed all of the singing himself, recording several full musical numbers for the film.The filmmakers created one famous scene by building an entire set backwards and having actors perform actions in reverse.The movie contains one of the highest joke-per-minute rates of any comedy film, packed with background gags and blink-and-you-miss-it jokes.Many of the film's jokes parody 1950s Elvis Presley musicals, including the musical performances.The filmmakers encouraged audiences to watch the movie multiple times, knowing many jokes would be missed on a first viewing.Several gags in the film rely on carefully timed visual illusions, which required extensive rehearsal during production.The movie has become a cult favorite among comedy fans, often ranked alongside Airplane! and The Naked Gun.A number of jokes were edited differently in international versions of the film.The film's layered humor means fans still discover new background jokes decades after its release.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Send a textEver wonder how a shrinking movement projects strength? We pull back the curtain on Scientology's donor engine—where empty orgs are overshadowed by glossy Impact magazine spreads, 70-pound trophies, and staged photo ops that turn giving into a competitive sport. We trace the journey from simple IAS memberships to a stratified status ladder—Patron, Meritorious, Gold, Platinum, Diamond—where recognition grows with every check and the pressure to “top up” never stops.We share first-hand stories from inside the machinery: what it meant to see former colleagues—people who knew the real conditions—reappear as celebrated donors; how event nights were orchestrated to capture perfect images; and why a selfie with a celebrity could become as valuable as any service. We also unpack where the money reportedly goes, from an interest-spending “war chest” to PR, legal campaigns, and the sprawling network of sites targeting critics. The irony isn't lost on us: hurricanes get “postulate” emails, but the buildings are stormproofed the old-fashioned way—with cash.Amid the satire and sharp edges, there's a grounded throughline: helping people start over. We spotlight the Aftermath Foundation, share details on the March 11 gathering, the pre-event livestream, and how you can jump into the online silent auction. If you've ever asked why successful people keep giving, how prestige becomes a product, or what it takes to leave and rebuild a life, this conversation connects the dots with insider clarity.If this episode resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a review.
